Bristol City have come under renewed pressure to reconsider the club's 2018-19 season card pricing.

The influential Football Supporters' Federation has announced its support for the Bristol City Supporters Club and Trust in a statement and has revealed that it plans to contact the South West club.

A statement from the respected body read:

"After receiving a raft of complaints from Bristol City fans the FSF will be working with its affiliates at the club, the Bristol City Supporters Club & Trust, to urge the club to address fans’ concerns about the price rises."

The Bristol City Supporters Club and Trust said on Wednesday that the group were 'baffled' by the club's intentions that include the removal of concessionary tickets for those under-19 in the Lansdown Stand Centre and Wings.

And the FSF says it will raise the matter with the EFL.

'Any fans concerned about the ticket price issue at Ashton Gate should contact the FSF - we will take supporters’ views to our next meeting with the EFL, due to be held in April.'

Many supporters from Ashton Gate's biggest stand, with some 11,000 seats, are deeply unhappy at either having to fork out a huge increase on existing prices to stay where they are or be pushed up to the top of the stand to sit in the family area.

Elsewhere the club has announced frozen ticket prices and even some decreases, although there are price rises too.

The Bristol Post understands that the club wishes to bring ticket prices into alignment with other Championship clubs as the Robins build to hopefully make the Premier League in the near future.

However, a meeting is due to take place on Wednesday evening at 7.30pm in the Supporters Bar when the club is invited to work with the fans to find a wider agreement via the Bristol City Supporters Club and Trust.

A season ticket holder has also set up an online petition asking the club to consider changing its policies for next season with some 250 signatures already gained.
